"My husband and I wanted to start making our own jerky, but couldn't find a recipe here to suit our tastes, so I made up my own. It's not too strong, yet has a great after-taste. Enjoy!" — vtelf03

1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup balsamic vinaigrette
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
2 teaspoons liquid smoke flavoring
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 drops hot sauce (such as Dave's Insanity Sauce ®), or to taste
1 pound top round steak, cut into 1/4 inch strips
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
This is it! The perfect jerky recipe I've been searching for! I've been making jerky for years. Tried other recipes and tried to make my own. The hot sauce I used was my own that I made from my peppers this summer. The really nice thing for me was that the ingredients are ones that I usually have on hand. I gave this out as part of my Christmas packages. Everyone loved it and I'm now going to make more for New Year's. Thanks!
This is the first time I have ever made beef jerky. I think I maybe could have left this in the oven for an hour or so longer. It is a little heavy on the Worcestershire sauce in my opinion so I think next time I might cut that in half. Here is a tip. I had the butcher at the market slice the meat from a roast. Made it super easy for me to throw it in a bag and marinate it over night. I did take a couple of the strips of meat and added red pepper flakes to them for a little zip- they were tasty.
